Hi All,
    My R installation is acting strangely and I'm hoping somebody might have
an idea what's going on:

I can't seem to load the "RMySQL" function.  It seems to have installed
without a problem, but when I enter:

library(RMySQL)

R tells me:
Error in utils::readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive = "HLM", maxdepth =
2) :
  Registry key 'SOFTWARE\MySQL AB' not found
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'RMySQL'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RMySQL'


Moreover,
If I try to get information about a function (fisher exact test, for
example) by typing:
?fisher.test

R tells me:
Error in shell.exec(url) :
  access to 'http://127.0.0.1:12625/library/stats/html/fisher.test.html'
denied
If I manually open, in a web browser, the html file whose address is given,
I can see and read the document.

I'm wondering whether there is some kind of problem with the registry (any
ideas at all welcome).

Thanks,
Jon
